General ⇒ Interlinear gloss with footnote

[kealist]

I am working with a Midnight Macro file gloss.tex
http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/generic/ ... /gloss.tex

This allows you to have word by word glosses for linguistics:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{book}
\input gloss
\begin{document}
\gloss Canis, natans per flumen,
A-dog, swimming through a-river,
\unhbox\gline
\end{document}

This works well. However, I am trying to insert a footnote into this, such as below:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{book}
\input gloss
\begin{document}
\gloss Canis, natans per flumen,\footnote{blah}
A-dog, swimming through a-river,
\unhbox\gline

\end{document}

And this makes pdfLaTeX.exe run away. I tried with the LaTex package GB4E as well with the same results. I tried looking at the macro code, but I'm lost on it. Anyone have suggestions for modifying my code or the gloss.tex?

I am using MikTex - Texworks

I was able to resolve this with:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{book}
\input gloss
\begin{document}
\gloss Canis, natans per flumen,\footnotemark[1]
A-dog, swimming through a-river,
\unhbox\gline
\footnotetext[1]{blah}
\end{document}

I didn't realize footnotes didn't work in tables. Thanks for reading everyone!
